Click View Surveys to view data on past surveys. Click View Chart to view the current chart of

After stopping the survey, other surveys can be taken by repeating the above steps. At any time,
all survey data can be downloaded to the PC using the Download Surveys and Data option on
SDS Reporter. Follow instructions for connecting the data logger to the PC.
Once the data has been downloaded, it is available for reporting. By clicking on the File > Open
menu option, the operator will be given the Report dialog to generate a survey report. Reports
use logged data and the user specified interval in the report. The report template that is
selected will form the final report view with all of the template data, survey data and additional
report parameters that are entered. The report templates are user-defined and should be
configured to meet your needs. All reports can be saved and displayed at a later date.
